If you listened to Jamie Foxx’s interview with Funk Flex then you may have heard him mention singing the National Anthem for the Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao fight.  Well now the news is confirmed!

It’s another huge boxing role for Jamie Foxx  — who’s starring as Mike Tyson in an upcoming biopic — was recently approached about belting out the “Star-Spangled Banner” and jumped at the chance according to TMZ Sports.

Foxx is a MAJOR boxing fan — and famously starred as Muhammad Ali’s right-hand man Drew Bundini Brown in “Ali.”

This isn’t the first time Foxx will be singing before a fight — he belted out “America the Beautiful” before the Pacquiao vs. Mosley fight back in 2011 and absolutely killed it!
